Looney TV: Bugs Bunny for Chiquita Bananas (1973)

 Even Bugs Bunny knows that bananas, rich in potassium, are healthy food. 

Warner Bros. licensed Bugs to United Brands, at the time the makers of Chiquita Bananas, for this ad. Bugs (Mel Blanc) dusts off his yellow hat & jacket, plus the cane, from his primetime series in the 60's, to croon the Chiquita jingle.


How Hanna-Barbera, home to Magilla Gorilla, didn't capitalize on this opportunity, I'll never know.
